ISU basketball recruit Darien Williams has been granted a release from his National Letter of Intent with Iowa State to pursue basketball at another school, according to a release.

Williams, a junior college transfer from Iowa Western Community College, committed to the Cyclones while former head recruiter Matt Abdelmassih was with the Cyclones. Abdelmassih left Iowa State for a similar position at St. John’s.

The 6-foot-8-inch forward was a stat machine at Iowa Western, scoring 16.1 points and grabbing 6.7 rebounds per game. He was recovering from shoulder surgery and was attending City College of San Francisco this past year.

Iowa State will have four scholarships available for the 2015-16 season.
